The Actors Studio of Newburyport

About Us

The Actors Studio serves as a vital cultural and educational resource for the community: to inspire, enrich and engage audiences and to develop both the art form and the individual by encouraging full creative expression. It offers professional training for adult actors, ages eighteen and older, both aspiring and established actors and writers, and their audiences, an intimate, creative experience we call “interactive theater”.

Classes serve business professionals as well in sharpening communications skills from one-on-ones to public speaking. The classes serve those pursuing mindfulness and personal development that supports efforts to be more fully present in the moment, no matter what the setting; business, the arts, or personal relationships. Weekly class offerings include cold reading classes, the art of storytelling, improvisation, and scene study.

The development of new works is a large part of our mission. Participating in the TASN Short Play Festival, Writers & Actors Ink, North Shore Reader Theater Collaborative and Stage Three Workshop Production Series writers, actors, directors, and our audiences have the opportunity to participate in this dynamic process.
